I will also teach students who have a keyboard, but will teach them to play piano, so better to upgrade to an acoustic or digital piano as soon as able. On guitar I teach rock, metal, blues, acoustic, pop, fingerpicking etc. Most modern styles. I teach the early theory grades within a piano lesson if required and occasionally within a guitar lesson.
